Magazine Lauds Orange County Santa Fe Publication Considers It an Earthly Paradise "The Earth," a magazine printed at Topeka, Kansas, by the Santa Fe railroad, prints the following tribute to Orange county in the January issue: "No one doubts that the person whose means permits him to select without question of price a location suited to his fancy in California, and builds there an abode in keeping with it, has achieved the externals making for an earthly paradise. Even Nature adds to the measure of his cup that which gold can not purchase—the blessing of a good climate. "Nature, however, has not reserved her gifts for those with the purchasing price of lordy estates. She wears a besign aspect for each individual who comes to California, however small his bank account, if he be rich in honest ambition, energy and perserverance, who is frugal without being parsimonious and employs common sense in the direction of his affairs. With this combination, Nature, in California, enters into a ready partnership that rarely fails to produce dividends of a substantial character and big deposits in the Bank of Self-respect. Contentment, Nornal Living and Good Health. "California does not claim to provide positions for individuals. It is not an employment bureau. It points out truthfully that those who select wisely a location for a large or a small business, if their methods are right, rarely regret the venture. "Great farming enterprises, with sufficient capital to swing them over the waiting period of productivity, are practically assured of success. "The one acre poultry ranch or small rabbit farm, likewise the commercial garden of mixed or specialized products in this wonderful statg, has achieved a record so often that the story of the comfortable home and modest income attained by the industrious, now is a matter of real facts and cold figures readily secured by readers of The Earth's pages." Paris Conference in 1919, which has prescribed that the President of the United States shall not leave the country during his incumbency. Our country has not been looked upon with friendly eyes in recent years by the Central and South American states. There has been the feeling that the United States has assumed altogether too much the role of the overlord in the affairs of the western hemisphere. Experience in Mexico and Nicaragua the past few years, the memory of Panama, taken against the protest of the Columbia government, and the general application of the policy of Monroe Doctrine without consultation with the other states has alienated the friendship of practically all of these nations. It is the evident intent of the administration to prepare the way for a more amicable relationship, and it is generally believed that President Coolidge is going down to Havana to hold out the olive branch to the aggrieved people of both Americas. This is entirely in keeping with the more conciliatory attitude manifested toward Mexico since Mr. Morrow went down there to be our ambassador, and toward Nicaragua. If Mr. Coolidge can promote a greater spirit of friendliness between the nations now aggrieved because of the aggressive and independent policy of our country, it will go far in improving the relations which have recently been far from friendly. After all, our relationship with the South and Central American states is very much closer than our relationship with the nations of Europe. They came into independence being through the inspiration of our own struggle for independence, and they alone among the states which have organized new governments in the last hundred and fifty years, have modeled them after the forms of our own government. To be sure, they do not speak our language, and their culture and more ideals differ quite radically from our own; but it is to us that they would naturally look for leadership and inspiration in their needs and their problems. They never should have been alienated from us. But having been so alienated, we hope the presence of the President of the United States will be something more than a gesture. We hope that something tangible and lasts... New Phosphate Find In Southern Idaho Survey of Government Reveals Territory Rich in Deposits The lure of metals and of the free life of the prospector has usually resulted in the development of metal mines and of metal mining districts well in advance of possible government exploration. With reference to most non-metals, including coal, the situation is different. Such deposits are less sought and are slower in commercial development. Moreover, great bodies of them occur on government-owned lands, and under the law such lands must be classified before any disposition of the valuable deposits they contain may be made. Since 1909 the government has been exploring the rich and extensive phosphate deposits of Idaho and adjacent states. Much of this country is sparsely inhabited and is as yet little explored geologically, but it is gratifying to note that significant mining developments have already taken place as a result of this exploration, and it is confidently expected that this region will ultimately support a large and prosperous mining community. The Department of the Interior now announces the publication by the geological survey of a comprehensive professional paper of 450 pages on the phosphate deposits of southeastern Idaho, the richest known part of the great western phosphate field, which in Idaho alone comprises reserves of high grade phosphate rock (65 to 84 per cent tricalcium phosphate) estimated at about five billion tons. The report is accompanied by elaborate and detailed colored geologic maps and geologic structure sections and contains many measurements and analyses which together make it possible to tell with considerable accuracy the surface distribution, depth, thickness, and quality of the phosphate beds in any particular tract of land and also the conditions affecting road construction, drainage, and settlement at any particular site. Much other information on phosphate and the phosphate industry is included, and other mineral resources of the region are also considered. The report, which is entitled "Geography, Geology, and Mineral Resources organized new governments in the last hundred and fifty years, have modeled them after the forms of our own government. To be sure, they do not speak our language, and their culture and more ideals differ quite radically from our own; but it is to us that they would naturally look for leadership and inspiration in their needs and their problems. They never should have been alienated from us. But having been so alienated, we hope the presence of the President of the United States will be something more than a gesture. We hope that something tangible and lasting may grow up as a result of this conference. We feel very sure that the smaller states of the western hemisphere are willing to accept the leadership of their powerful neighbor to the north if that leadership is not a leadership off might alone. If the big brother idea shall move our government and its dealings with these American nations—the idea which has about it a appearance of patronage or threat—it will make the beginning of a new era. It will not only be an era of good feeling, but an era marked by a profitable interchange of thought and trade which cannot but be of great benefit to ourselves as well as to them. It will be very much worth while for all our people to follow the proceedings of this coming conference, and to heartily endorse all measures to be suggested to cement the friendship of the nations concerned. CONGRESS TO WORK FAST For all of the dismal forecasts of the professional pessimists, the new congress will do a substantial amount of work before it adjourns. There will be debates and discussions, but the natural ambition on the part of the leaders who belong to the major political parties to close the session in order that they may attend their respective party conventions, will have a salutary effect in invoking cloture in debate. In talking of disarmament, European nations say that they first want guarantees of safety. But if everybody disarms and disarmament will end warfare, as the pacifists claim, what is the need for guarantees of safety? tailed colored geologic maps and geologic structure sections and contains many measurements and analyses which together make it possible to tell with considerable accuracy the surface distribution, depth, thickness, and quality of the phosphate beds in any particular tract of land and also the conditions affecting road construction, drainage, and settlement at any particular site. Much other information on phosphate and the phosphate industry is included, and other mineral resources of the region are also considered. The report, which is entitled "Geography, Geology, and Mineral Resources of Part of Southeastern Idaho," by G. R. Mansfield, should also prove of interest to students and to technical and general readers. It reflects something of the atmosphere of pioneering days; it describes in detail the mountains and valleys of this part of the West, the climate, vegetation, resources, industries, and transportation facilities; it discusses the interesting geologic formations and structure and presents an interpretation of them; and it considers some of the broader problems that have been in connection with the exploration, such as the origin of the ancient phosphate-bearing formation, the complex erosional history of southeastern Idaho, and the building of the northern Rocky mountains with their tremendous folding, fracturing, and sliding. The geographic and geologic information presented may furnish standards of comparison, it is hoped, for further and broader studies in the Rocky mountain region. The report, which is known as Professional Paper No. 152, may be had free as long as available upon application to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., or may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, government printing office, for $2.40. THE HAVANA CONFERENCE The coming pan-American conference which is to be held in Havana, Cuba, January 16, is of much more than passing interest. President Coolidge has thought it of sufficient importance to break a precedent, broken only by President Wilson when he attended the ANAHEIM GAZETTE Planning National Orange Exposition Decorators Now Engaged in Beautifying Big Tents California's greatest midwinter event, the National Orange Show, is now much in the public focus as time for this beautiful exposition nears. Designers of feature displays have already begun their work; decorators are busily engaged in transforming the great exposition building into fairyland; the new addition housing the by-products exhibit, packing plant and department of citrus education is rapidly nearing completion. It is the greatest exposition ever planned by the executive committee of the orange show. Plans are maturing rapidly. Entries are coming in fast for the contest which will determine the world's champion fruit grower. Expert packing house operators are requesting that the packing contest which the orange show inaugurated a number of years ago, again be featured. It is probable that this will be done. It will bring together the fastest and most expert orange packers in the state. A new feature for the first time is a display of wild fowl made by the state fish and game farm at Yountville. Every species native to California will be shown. 139 feet of space being required for different kinds of birds will be in evidence, including mountain and valley quail, pheasants, grouse, sage bens, and many others. Manager R. H. Mack is endeavoring to have the federal and county for stry departments cooperate by installing mountain and valley backgrounds to more properly exhibit these birds in their native habitat. It is announced that every variety of citrus fruit will be on exhibition, Dr. H. J. Welder, director of the citrus experimentation having this exhibit in charge. Many varieties unknown to the general public will be featured. The show open February 16 and runs for 10 days. County Grand Jurors Question Supervisors Ask Questions Relative to Ordering Payments of Warrants The board of supervisors of Orange county went before the grand jury Tuesday, and it is rumored that they were questioned rather carefully by the investigators on their method of handling payment of warrants, demands, and bills. The board preceded its appearance before the jury by a closed session in its committee room. The supervisors were asked if there was any chance for loose methods creeping into their financial work. At every session the board faces a stack containing several hundred warrants which must be approved. Since July 1, 1827, they have passed on 9400 of these papers. In round figures, each board member approves 75 warrants at each session. The amount of money involved was in the neighborhood of $200,000 in December and $270,000 in November. The grand jury's interest in this phase of their business lies in the fact that each supervisor approves demands for payment of bills relating to his district or any county project in his charge, without passing on the other warrant which are signed by other members. The chairman approves demands after these signatures are affixed. The opportunity for loose methods is said to lie in the fact that each supervisor does not know what bills have been approved by any member but himself. Because of the large number of bills handled, it has been pointed out that it would be a physical impossibility for each man to study every one. At present the board spends over an hour at each session in passing on demands. The supervisor from each district is appointed a committee of one to oversee certain county property, and the authority thus delegated is not questioned by the others when the matter of paying bills is handled. On questions of appropriations, or of demands which are questioned, the matter often comes before the board as a whole. It has been pointed out. The entire payroll for road employees, amounting to $25,000 or $30,000 each month, is signed by all the supervisors. The individual checks, sometimes 300 in number, are not passed on by each member, but only the payroll as a whole. In poultry raising, the incubator has the distinct advantage of hatching a few or several hundred chicks at once.

Broadway—Anaheim, California 1928 Banner Year In Nation's Business Director Jones of the United States Employment Service has made a very glowing prediction for the prosperity and progress of the Union during 1928. The report is the result of a national survey into employment, development, and agricultural conditions throughout the different states. Mr. Jones says in part: Contrary to precedent established in former presidential election years, when the business world stood by, awaiting results before charting their progress, the opposite is true at this time. Industry and business will mark new high levels in 1928. The pessimists, doubting Thomases and their iconoclasts will be obliged to revise their opinions with respect to the nation's industrial future. "All signs point to the biggest year in the history of the automotive industry. Iron and steel point to a marked increase over 1927. Indications are that building construction will compare favorably with the previous year. The position of agriculture shows improvement. Railroads will undoubtedly enjoy normal business. Owing to increased introduction of labor-saving machinery, considerable labor will be displaced, but the volume of business is expected to register a new high level." Of California conditions, Mr. Jones has this to say: "Industrial activity in California was below normal from April to September in 1927, but more recently has increased, and forecasts indicate that business in general will increase during the first six months of 1928 to near or above the normal."
